Career

Coventry City

Born in Fenny Compton, England, Finch began his career at Sunday league side Fenny Compton Colts and one day, when he was playing as a right-back in a match against Southam United, he was scouted by Coventry City, leading him to join the club when he was nine-year old.[2] While at the academy, Finch started out playing as a right-back before switching to centre-back then into midfield.[3]

After progressing the ranks of the academy, he was called up by the first team in July 2013, but did not travel in the club's pre-season tour.[4] Although he was a regular for the Under-21s side for most of the 2013–14 season, Finch was offered a two-year professional contract.[5] Shortly after being offered a new contract, Finch was called by the first team against Bradford City, where he appeared as an unused substitute.[6] He went on to make two appearances as an unused substitute against Wolverhampton Wanderers[7] and Sheffield United.[8] At the end of the 2013–14 season, he signed a two-year professional contract with them.[9]

Finch made his professional debut starting on 13 August 2014 in a 2-1 League Cup loss to Cardiff City.[10] However, in a match against Crewe Alexandra on 11 October 2014, Finch was sent-off for a second bookable offence, in a 2–1 loss.[11] Despite the sending-off, Finch was given a handful of first team appearances between November and February.[12] [13] However, in late-March, he returned to the U21 side for the rest of the season after finding his first team opportunities limited.[14] Despite a setback,[15] Finch went on to make 16 League appearances in the 2014–15 season.[16]

However, the 2015–16 season saw Finch not featured for the first team and did not make a single appearance that season, due to competitions around the midfield position.[17] [18] As the 2015–16 season progressed, Finch began to suffer his own setback when he suffered an injury that left him long-term.[19] It wasn't until February 2016 when he returned from injury.[20]

In the 2016–17 season, Finch was included in the first team squad for the pre-season tour.[21] [22] Finch then made his first appearance in over a year, in the first round of League Cup, in a 3–2 win over Portsmouth on 9 August 2016.[23] Finch appeared three times in the EFL Trophy.[24] [25] [26] At the end of the 2016–17 season, Finch was released by the club when his contract came to an end.[27]
